A few days ago I got an email from a website where I had been doing some personal, non-business-related shopping. I had been looking for some supplies for craft projects, and in order to see the price of the items in question, I was asked to submit my email address. This was annoying, but it looked like they might be giving better discounts than other websites, so I put in my email address. Of course I knew they would start sending me marketing emails, but I thought, “Oh well, I’ll just unsubscribe as soon as I get the first one.”

No matter what type of website or blog you have, these plugins have something to offer. These are the plugins I find myself using over and over again on the sites I develop. Download these plugins at the URLs provided, or simply go to Plugins from your WordPress dashboard. Click on Add New and then type the names exactly into the search box. The search function isn’t that great, so if you don’t type them in exactly, they might not come up. For example, if you type “contact buddy” instead of “contactbuddy,” you won’t find it. Nothing’s perfect!
